Deuteronomy 32:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Remember the old days.
    Think of the years already passed.
Ask your father and he will tell you;
    ask your elders and they will inform you.
⁸ God Most High gave the nations their lands,
    dividing up the human race.
He set up borders for the people
    and even numbered the Israelites.
⁹ The Lord took his people as his share,
    the people of Jacob as his very own.
